Today we’d like to introduce you to Versace Mitchell
Hi Versace, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
“My Story began behind a 2 Channel Numark9 years ago. DJing became my first love, a way to connect with the rhythm and energy that pulsed through the music. Years spent beatmatching and crowd reading, instilled in me a deep understanding of the power of music to move people. The excitement of the performance, the shared experience of the crowd, it all became a very important part of who I am.
As my love for music deepened, I discovered a new way for self-expression: vocals. The ability to infuse my own voice into the music, to weave my emotions and experience opened up a new dimension of creativity. My DJing background profoundly influenced this transition, grounding my vocal work in a strong rhythmic foundation and an intuitive grasp of what resonates with the listener.
from the jump I’ve been independent grinding relentlessly, steadily building a catalog of work. I’ve secured label releases, each a significant milestone in my journey. While these achievements might not always be immediately visible to the outside world, they represent consistent progress towards my goals.
My dreams often outpace my current resources. With greater financial support, I could invest in higher-quality equipment, expand my reach through more extensive marketing campaigns, and collaborate with a wider network of talented artists. These are the limitations I currently face, but they fuel my determination to find innovative ways to overcome them and continue pushing the boundaries of my artistic expression.”
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
“Has it been a smooth road? Absolutely not. The journey of an independent artist is never easy. There have been countless challenges along the way. One of the biggest has been the constant struggle for recognition and appreciation. It’s incredibly difficult to pour your heart and soul into your music, to lay yourself bare in your lyrics, only to face discouragement or even ridicule. people are quick to tell you what you CANT do But those doubts only fueled my determination.
Another significant hurdle has been the financial reality of pursuing music independently. The costs associated with recording, marketing, and traveling can be overwhelming, especially when you’re bootstrapping everything. It’s a constant balancing act, trying to make ends meet while investing in your art.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect has been the isolation that can come with this path. It’s easy to feel invisible, like people only see you for your music and not as a whole person. Building genuine connections, finding a community that understands the unique challenges of this journey, has been a constant struggle.
But despite the obstacles, I wouldn’t trade this path for anything. The passion, the creativity, the connection I feel with my music – it’s all worth it. I’m constantly learning, growing, and evolving as an artist, and I’m determined to continue pushing the boundaries of my musical expression.”

Remember that every artist, even the biggest names you see headlining festivals today, once started as a local musician. They were supported by friends, family, and local communities who believed in their talent.
